Though hard to believe, on July 3, 2002 Tom Cruise, the biggest movie star in the world, turned 40. Still boyish, Cruise is known as much for his track record as for his billion-dollar smile. There's something new, however, other than his sexy crew cut he's sporting after Minority Report. Cruise wears braces. Yes, braces.

DiCaprio says, "For the actors, it was so intriguing that we were essentially experiencing all of this for the first time, just as the audience will be. As a group, we were on this epic journey and were in a constant state of discovery and surprise. I think that's going to be one of the most exciting things about watching this movie–realizing that there are unlimited possibilities and you never truly know what could happen next."

Christopher Nolan is the writer/director of "Inception," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page. The film is being released July 16 by Warner Bros.

Director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan reveals that he began creating the world of "Inception" almost a decade before he made the movie. "About ten years ago, I became fascinated with the subject of dreams, about the relationship of our waking life to our dreaming life. I've always found it to be an interesting paradox that everything within a dream–whether frightening, or happy, or fantastic–is being produced by your own mind as it happens, and what that says about the potential of the imagination is quite extraordinary. I started thinking how that could be applied to a grand-scale action movie with a very human dimension."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom Cruise stars as Roy Miller in "Knight and Day," also starring Cameron Diaz and directed by James Mangold. The action film is being released June 23 by Twentieth Century Fox.

"I couldn't wait to make this movie," says up Cruise. "Knight and Day sweeps you into this grand adventure and love story – and we did everything we could to make it non-stop, unpredictable fun. I think Jim [Mangold] is a terrific storyteller and I really wanted to work with him and Cameron on this." 

 

 

 

Tilda Swinton stars as Emma Recchi in the "I Am Love," written and directed by Luca Guadagnino. The Italian film is being released by Magnolia Pictures on June 18. 

Swinton on what drew her to the project, "Change, overcoming the idea of oneself, as created by society, has been one of my main interests since Orlando. In Io Sono L’Amore, a film that Luca and I worked on for 7 years, these themes are presented and they are in a way that is even more magnetic."
